So let’s say I had aqcuired a young tortoise, and wanted it to eventually be fast. Could I strap a weight on a rope to its shell and gradually increase the weight a few grams every week or month until I have the fastest tortoise in the world?

Tortoises are fast. Though most of the time they just have no reason to and conserve energy because they are cold blooded.
Also, those fuckers can climb! You got no idea how many times we had to pick up one of my mothers tortoises from neighbours because they found another way to sneak out of the enclosure we build outside.
Sure you’re not thinking of turtles? I’ve seen them haul ass, but never a tortoise.
If you’re mother has them, I’m sure you said what you meant, but still, never seen one scoot booty.
Yes, turtles are probably faster (especially in water), but I’m talking about Hermanns’s tortoise.
